We are ELEGANT SIMPLICITY / A Rock Band / It's all about the music . . and other stuff, too!
The Elegant Simplicity recordings catalogue is quite large and has been growing steadily since 1992. However, the recording career of bandleader Steven McCabe goes back to 1985!
The scope of this discography includes all official band albums, compilation albums, tribute albums, third party projects etc. Each release is shown with artwork, full description, track-listings, and catalogue numbers. Truly, a collector’s paradise!
Note that where the music is available for purchase, there will be a “Buy or Listen to” link that will take you straight to that product in our Official Store.
Non Album Instrumental Track This song features a full band and was intended for the Don’t Look Down (at the End of the World) album. However, it was decided that this and another song called Groundfall II made the album a bit too lengthy. So here it is now, in all its glory. It is…
This EP is a compilation of previously released radio edits and an album track taken from Don’t Look Down (at the End of the World). The four songs fit together perfectly for a streamlined listening experience if you are not in the mood for epics! As a result, if you already have these radio edits,…
This is our first mostly vocal album in many years and we think one of our best. The vocals by Thomas and Iona are stellar and really bring something new to our music. As with previous releases, Maurizio and Hector provide the backbone on drums and bass. I can’t sing their praises highly enough. We…
Third (and last) single release from our brand new album ‘Don’t Look Down (at the End of the World)’ This is an edited version of the title track. This tune is very melodic, featuring some outstanding vocals from Tomas and Iona. Great sound effects and a ripping guitar solo make this a fitting climax to…
Second release from our brand new album ‘Don’t Look Down (at the End of the World)’ This is an edited version of the 18 minute epic! This tune is very melodic, featuring some outstanding vocals from Tomas and Iona. Whittling down 18 minutes to just over three was a bit of a challenge, so this…
First release from our brand new album ‘Don’t Look Down (at the End of the World)’ This is an edited version of the lead track where we get straight into it with the superb vocals of Tomas. It’s an eerie little tune with a nagging picked guitar about murder and mayhem and all kinds of…
Here is another non-typical track (don’t worry, the ‘proper’ prog stuff is on the way!) This is a sequel / prequel to ‘Project B’. Twice as long, great little melody and some odd sound effects combine to present a nice little listen that I do hope you will enjoy. Not entirely sure what to label…
Xmas like you’ve never heard it before! A monumental 11 minute slab of holiday music in 6/4 that is epic in every way. Joyous, melodious, symphonic – different to any other version you’ve ever heard – and it’s just plain groovy, too! Stick with it to the end for the grandstanding finale and sublime melody.…
“In Fa Mi” is a non-album track that was quick to write and record! Led by a lovely guitar melody, it is a quite joyous affair. Even has some brass work towards the end. The guitar solo is quite a shred-fest. It was done in one take and I was not going to keep it,…
“Project B” is a non-album track that was inspired by a simple piano motif that I couldn’t let go of. So, a few minutes later, after adding some acoustic guitar and mellotron (not to mention an electric guitar solo), Project B was born! This is not a full band song, however: only me playing on…
